Fortress Pimp needs YOU! (a web designer)

Fancy being brill and making a new template?

I was thinking about doing it myself sometime (cause it desperately needs sorting out with a fresh one) if I can be bothered. But I have no prior experience in web design so it will take me a good few days just to familiarize myself with things. Whereas I'm sure someone with experience could put something together no problems in no time.

I can try.

Any kind of theme?

Paft · 07-20-2008, 10:20 PM

Groovy.

As plain, basic, old school or as fancy as you like. Cleanness, simple layout, categories/subcategories is the main thing to achieve. Anything to completely replace the current would be great, that is easy as pie to code.

Pixel · 07-20-2008, 10:48 PM

How about a different theme for each section?

Paft · 07-20-2008, 10:55 PM

Sounds good to me. In your own time, no rush ok.

holy fuck this is an idea full of WIN! I love the simple style, and how you made one for each popular TF game! Go man go! For an FF font, go to your C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\SourceMods\FortressForever\r esource directory.

Gj Pixel!

Paft · 07-21-2008, 04:38 AM

Ha, great idea. Good job, love it. Thank you very much.

FORTESS!

Fortress Pimp is currently the messiest, hardest-to-navigate website ever!

Sprites, models, sounds etc. should be split up into categories

(sprites: rpg flares, conc sprites, crosshairs, medic sprites, speak sprites etc)

Paft · 07-21-2008, 09:39 AM

FORTRESS IS MY MISTRESS

Rubbish isn't it. Hence the thread.

I've been planning on sorting it out for a while now but put it off for the reason I said (though it isn't my site). Thought I'd ask and see if any one is kind enough to come up with something first.

edit: take a look at that banana shit. What a headache.

KubeDawg · 07-21-2008, 03:41 PM

They need to be nested as such:

Code:

TFC
 - Maps
 - Models
 - Sprites
 - Etc.

Fortress Forever
 - Maps
 - Models
 - Sprites
 - Etc.

TF2
 - Maps
 - Models
 - Sprites
 - Etc.

That way there's not just a giant cluster fuck of items for all 3 games.

hmm

Paft · 07-22-2008, 10:39 PM

Wonderful. Thanks for having a shot at it.

So really the main links underneath the banner(s) make sense being there now, having 3 individual pages.

It works well with sub categories right underneath the banner and links above Top Downloads.

Say I clicked on sprites:

News Forums Etc Sprites
_____________________
-Rocket flares
-Conc sprites
-Etc
______________

That's all that it was really missing.

And of course logos liking to the other TF's in that blank space on the banner and the jobs a gooden.

Hawk Eye · 07-23-2008, 12:39 AM

I'm working on one as well... whether or not you will want to use it is up to you.

It's pimp.

Pixel: It's not just the design that needs work, it's the layout. Make it less awful to navigate, please.
